Weekend Recap

wedding_header

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! A little rain Saturday morning was just what we needed to brighten up the flowers/grass. My sod is looking a little sad right now but we can disregard that. 😉 Speaking of my house, I had some close family and friends come over yesterday to come check out my space for the first time and it was a huge hit! THANK YOU to everyone who came out!!! I officially feel settled now that décor is hung and everything is in its place … Let’s forget the garage. 😉 That’s a project later down the road! I’m looking forward to sharing more home DIY projects with you on the blog as the weeks go on.

Saturday was the wedding season kick off and I’m so happy to have started with James and Natalie’s beautiful Oatlands Plantation wedding! Let’s just say there were an abundance of flowers and a very sweet and fun couple! Cannot wait to share their story with you all this week!

By the way, did anyone watch Game of Thrones last night?! What is your speculation about Melisandre?!!!

Until I share photos/stories from a portrait session + Saturday’s wedding, here are some sneak peeks!
